STEAM SUMMER CAMP

BUILDING & ACTIVATING 3D By: Osama Desouky


June 23, 2022
PRINTING
MANUFACTURING
PRINCIPLES
1. Subtractive: material removed from a solid block until you reach the desired form
2. Fabricative: elements or physical material are combined and joined
3. Formative: mechanical forces and/or heat are applied to a material to form it into
the required shape; e.g. bending, casting and moulding
4. Additive: Material is manipulated so that successive pieces of it combine to make
the desired object
SUBTRACTIVE VS. ADDITIVE

* Known as Additive manufacturing.


OVERVIEW OF 3D PRINTING
 The technology often referred
to as “Additive Manufacturing”
has been around since 1984
(almost 40 years)
Invented by Chuck Hull of 3D
systems Inc.
Laying layers of materials
(plastics, metals, composites,
and ceramics)
DIFFERENT
METHODS/TECHNOLOGIES
 Stereolithography (SLA): First method
developed by Hull. Involves using UV light
in order to bond layers, any unused material
is available for the next job.
Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM):
Invented in the 80’s by Scott Crump. He and
his wife formed Stratasys.
Involves extruding a stream of melted plastics which
harden almost instantaneously once extruded. PLA,
PETG, ABS, and many others. Less expensive.

 Select Laser Sintering (SLS): Uses


powdered materials such as polystyrene,
ceramics, glass, nylon, metals, and produces
no waste.

PROCESS
STL FILES?
• STL (.stl) is the standard file
format used in 3D Printing (Binary or
ASCII).
• An STL file describes only the
surface geometry of a 3D object without
any common CAD model attributes (units,
material, …) or representation of colour or
texture.
• The surface is tessellated into a set
of oriented triangles(facets). Each facet is
described by the outward normal and three
points listed in counterclockwise order
representing the vertices of the triangle.
SLICING
G-CODE
G-code is the most widely used
numerical control (NC) programming
languages. It was originally developed
in the 50s for controlling automated
machine tools (Computer-Aided
Manufacturing – CAM).
It is now also used to control 3D
Printers.
A G-code file contains the instructions
for the 3D Printer on where to
move, how fast, along which path…
CONSIDERATIONS FOR 3D
PRINTING
• Machines specifications: • Materials to be used:
 Building envelope (size of the parts to be built)  Extruder maximum temperature
 Accuracy / Print tolerances  Materials to be used
 Minimum Layer resolution  Heated bed
 Building speed  Availability of materials
 Dual extruder
 OS supported (Mac, Windows, Linux)

• Cost
 3D printer DIY kit
 Plug and play
MATERIALS USED FOR 3D
PRINTING
WHAT ELSE?
3D scanners?
Reverse Engineering
CHECK LIST
Check STL file
Scale of part
Decide of part orientation before
exporting stl
Generate supports
Select build style / filling strategy
Select layer thickness
Select material (and associated build
parameters)
